Who Are Future Hall Of Famers?

We were having a good chat at the pub the other night about the upcoming Hockey Hall of Fame inductions before the conversation shifted to how some young guys in the NHL already have Hall of Fame resumes. A player like Jonathan Toews has already accomplished so much in 7 seasons that he will be a shoo-in for the Hockey Hall of Fame whenever his career is over. This got us thinking about what other young players like Toews are on the HHOF track and might be getting the call in 15 or so years to join some elite company.

Here are 10 guys in their twenties who have already built up solid cases for the Hall of Fame (all stats from before the 2014-15 NHL season):

We're calling Toews, Crosby, Malkin, and Ovechkin as locks for the Hall while the others will have to continue to pad their stats and add to their trophy cases if they want to earn that recognition. Goalies are tougher to call as none of them have great all-around resumes right now to be given HHOF status, but we'd keep an eye on Rask and Price to be the best young goalies to emerge as candidates. Regardless, we've seen so many great plays from these 10 studs that we look forward to seeing what their version of this Top 10 would look like:
